Hi Fiona, thanks for your comment. I’m tempted to go back with my oil painting gear because it was such a great spot, tempted to make a bolder watercolour too 😊😊

It would make a great oil John, your style of urban paintings would make it something special. I particularly like the chimneys and telegraph pole and wires.
